A Historical Review of the Hash House Harriers
The history of such an underground organization as the Hash House Harriers (a.k.a. HHH or
Hashing) is hard to pin down but here I go…..
Harrier running clubs date back to the mid-19th Century in the United Kingdom. These clubs
tend to be more serious running clubs that focus on preparation for races and have spread all
over the world. The Hash House Harriers originate from that same vein, but took on a subtle
twist by combining adult running with a common children's game called Paper Chase with
various accounts dating it back as far as 1837, or the more adult version of "Hare and Hounds"
with the oldest organized club being the Thames Hare and Hounds, dating back to 1867, Then
for anyone over the age of 18 would end up going to the pub.
The only thing required to have a Hash Run is a hare (harder than you expect to get one
especially in the CH3 Kennel) to set a trail with paper, flour, sawdust, chalk, etc. or a
combination of these items. Length varies, but a reasonable trail would be between 7-12 Kms,
preferably over a cross county terrain, city streets or a mixture. Trail can be set live, meaning
the hare gets a 12-15 minute head start, or set dead, with the trial being completed prior to
the pack setting off. With the trail being set, all that is left is a willing pack to make chase. The
shear brilliance of Hashing is the complete austerity of it. You only need something to mark
the trail, a hare to set the trail, and someone to follow.
Then obviously on completion of the hash, you will require a well-stocked, well managed
Public House with Real Ales on sale…
The Cambridge Hash Harriers say “there are no rules to Hashing” but here are a few I’ve found
dating back to 1950, the city of Kuala Lumpur began requiring clubs of all kinds to register with
the city. While a common theme of hashing is "there are no rules," the club registration was
the original "Rules." Written with wry jest of a good Brit, the objectives of the Hash House
Harriers were listed as:
(a) To promote physical fitness amongst its members
(b) To get rid of weekend hangovers
(c) To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it with beer
(d) To persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel
(e) To moan a lot after completion of a well-executed trail

R.A.R Religious Advisors Rant
Well let me firstly start by saying the R.A.R has only come about as a comment from Debonair,
and they’re being no articles and pictures to place in this month’s Herold, so here goes.
Since being selected as the RA, in Sept 2015, and after having the pleasure of carrying out the
duties of Hash Horn, Verger and any other task that the hash gave me throughout the early
parts of the 2014/2015 year, I have unfortunately seen a decline in people’s participation
within the Hash Group. (My Opinion but if the cap fits!!)
Firstly; run write ups. How can we as a hash, produce a decent enjoyable Monthly Herold, if
the scribes fail to produce funny and decently timed write ups.
So let’s name and shame as I did in the circle on Hash 1943.
20 Dec 15 – Run 1942 Shiner Cock
13 Dec 15 – Run 1941 Daffy and he’s the GM
22 Nov 15 – Run 1938 School Boy Dream 15 Nov 15 – Run 1937 Kermit
01 Nov 15 – Run 1935 Imelda
25 Oct 15 – Run 1934 Beer stop
20 Sep 15 – Run 1929 Debonair
19 Jul 15 – Run 1920 Strap On
07 Dec 14 – Run 1888 F1 (over a year ago, Big Blouse yes on your watch)
I know the reminders get on people’s nerves from Bedsores, but as above has proved if we
don’t remind and people don’t write, the Herold will just fall by the wayside and or just be 3
pages of blank pages.
Secondly: Everyone knows how hard it is to be a hare, who after all the preparation and lying
of the trail, gets subjected to much negative comments such as: how long, easy or hard the
trail was, not enough check points, too many turn backs. It takes effort on behalf of the hare
to ensure that each Sunday happens. It’s a shame that prior, during and after the hash,
hashers still have the nerve to comment. If hashers have nothing positive to say why say it!!
We have over the last few months even lost a couple of hashers because of this. If you
complain or obviously think you can do better give your name to DT and see how your hash is
received.
Thirdly. Hash Commitment: I do know not every week hashers can attend but when I hear
excuses that hashers wont venture more than a few miles from their own home address, I
think how can we grow and keep our numbers high each week. I will admit I haven’t been
there all the time but that’s due to work commitments, I would like to say though on average
I, woody hollow and Just Give me one travel around 130miles every Sunday, just so we can
enjoy our Sunday Hash. And enjoy we do.
Finally for this Herald: the Circle and this is to the committee, make them sharp, quick, Quirky,
to the point with plenty of laughter. Hashers Pay attention and have a laugh. Thus we don’t
get cold.
R.A.R done and dusted for Feb……..

Run No: 1940
Venue: Queens Head, Littlebury Green
Scribe: Just Give Me One
Date: 06 Dec 2015
Hares: it`ll come off & One for his Knob
It was the 6th day of Christmas and Run 1940 at “The Queens Head” Littlebury (Or was that Littlebury Green
telephone box)
The day started off by following the Satnav from Mildenhall to The Queens head, only to be informed that
the circle was only 2 MILES away next to the telephone box in Littlebury Green. However it was a good
crowd that turned up for our two virgin hares for their first trail. So as always with Bedsores (at 1100hr)
shouting out what time does the 11 O’clock hash start, we circled up and got on our way.
The hares in the circle did a good job of explaining the hash signs, I would like to point out though to Pedro
he must pay more attention; he may then learn what a turn back arrow is, → ← .
We had a couple of returnees and after the circle the hares pointed the On On and the Sunday hash was off.
The weather was overcast and underfoot was soft and Muddy, we criss crossed the country side, leading up
tracks with false trails and following the experienced hashers who apparently had laid this trail before,
generally then returning back to the check point to find the correct trail.
We had walkers, and runners split and wondering the fields, obviously taking in the sights, we had FRB falling
head long into muddy puddles. We even had the amazing beer stop, with plenty of spirts to drink but the
best of all was Basta**s flapjack, full of sweet sugary things. Please order me a batch the next time you
make some.
Down Down’s
Hares: It’ll come off and 1 for the knob for being virgin hares and laying a really interesting hash, with a
thank you to Bast**d and the Earl for being their consultants.
Pedro received one for not taking notice of the instruction in the 11 O’clock circle and running straight past
turn back signs and making the pack follow.
Legover and Deepshit took a down down each for having very bad prior knowledge, as they laid the trail
there last time and still got it wrong.
Havent got one got Shiner Cock a down down for not fully explaining what Dogging is after he was seen
petting a black Labrador, im sure he wont be petting anything on hashes from now on.
Control Freak received hers for arriving late and having the balls of a brass monkey to get a lift onto the trail
and jumping out when she thought no one was looking…. The RA has spys everywhere.
Ron Hall received one for being a returnee and Havent Got One for becoming a father.
Woody Hollow received a half for being too drunk on the girls wot booze whilst stating she wasn’t going to
drink and
Fit But Dim also received a down down from the Boys Wot Booze night after falling up a set of steps and
then continuing to fall down a couple of times on the hash
Just give me one received her down down for delegation rather than writing notes for this write up, as she
had delegated her dad FBD.
Daffy For not zipping his trousers up and showing his “little Willy” to the whole circle. Females who require
counselling please don’t hesitate to contact your local councillor and send the bill to Daffy of course.
While Your Down There for just being her and not paying attention whilst walking back to her car at the ned
of the hash.
ON ON.
Just give me one NOT just gimmie one

Hares: Blowback & Unmentionable
Hello fellow hashers
Were we completely bonkers? Was it absolutely persisting it down? Should we not have been home, in the warm and
trying to wedge in one last Ferrero Roche? NO we certainly should not! We do what all good hashers do, no matter the
weather, no matter our over- hanging Christmas bellies (sorry, I am referring only to mine) we get out there and we
follow flour to our hearts content; or until hyperthermia sets in.
Yes it was very very wet but the hares laid a very very good trail.
I was a little bit hesitant when I heard we were to meet at the local ‘dogging’ car park. But I thought as I have only been
a hasher for a couple of years, and the very many unique customs that hashing brings, I thought I would just go with the
flow. Anyway I was slightly relieved to discover nothing more than a pit stop for fellow travellers to have a pee and a
cuppa. There also appeared to be some quite normal people about, which was a little unsettling. Hashers they were
not.
The hare’s were a little late getting back, but it was quite understandable considering the rain was washing away the
markings as fast as they could lay them. Blow back and unmentionable arrived back looking like they’d had a fight in a
flour mill! I would also like to point out that Unmentionable got up at 6.30am to lay this trail and it was also her
birthday, so I salute you for such dedication. Or complete madness, you choose. Back they were so off we went.
Fanny sniffer, aka Joey the cocker spaniel was loving the wet muddy conditions and managed to find an old tennis ball
left behind by another four legged friend. He managed to carry this most of the trail while breathing heavily, or was
that just me. Breathing heavily that is, not carrying the ball.
The walkers and runners started off quite in sync and met at a few check points but it was a fast running group today so
a divide occurred and I did not see the walkers until the end. We had some really great runners today and I often found
myself playing catch up. Especially if I had checked out a very sneaky and long turn back! The trail really kept us on our
toes as it had many twists and turns, and false routes. Even in the pouring rain it was a lovely trail in the woods and not
another soul about, except for our mad pack. Upon arriving back at the car park there was a very welcome glass of fizz
and mince pie. If this is what dogging is all about then I’m in. Once watered and fed it was time to try to peel off as
much wet clothing, sodden socks and bogging trainers as discretely as possible. I really hope there was no CCTV in
operation as it would have recorded much flesh on display, no bums or boobs were seen to the best of my knowledge.
We then all ventured over to Tuddenham and the White Hart pub. Very nice venue and some lovely locals, who were
happily inviting us to come to their New Year’s party.
Down Downs:
Big blouse for ogling a visiting hasher from Guildford called Truncheon meat (police office in CID). She was bravely
wearing proper running gear which was quite body hugging, to which Blouse made the comment, “I guess your cold”. I
feel I need not explain further.
A few hashers were named and shamed as they have not yet written up there run report yet, Shinercock, Kermit,
Imelda and Debonnaire – shame on you all, Ha ha.
Slaphead was overheard saying that he must have been very excited today as he was very moist today. Naughty boy.
Slaphead got another down down with Blowback as it appears they were a bit hard up today when buying drinks at the
bar. I heard they had both tried to pick up coins off the bar floor. I also heard that real effort was put into trying to get
said coins off the floor, only to discover the land lord had glued them down for a joke. A whip round might be needed a
our next hash.

Hares: Double Top
First Run of 2016 !!!
I arrived at the pub with the prerequisite hangover although traveling in style in Pedro’s M sport mean
machine.
The weather was wet, which is a running/dripping/soaking theme, throughout the run.
We all mingled in the car park of the pub with many happy new years etc. and as the clock struck 11 we
formed into a lose circle.
Amazingly we had both the RA and GM present (I suppose they need to come once a year!!). Daffy looked
around the pack for a scribe and picked me for the job (something he may regret…) . After the standard
pleasantries we went through the visitors and virgins. It seemed Spicy Bear had persuaded her boss to come
to the run (maybe she doesn’t like her job!!).
The Hares came into the circle and DT , Oh La La and DT’s daughter gave us the run down for the trail and
we were off.
Note: as well as being asked to do the write-up I was given an all-weather pad to scribble on and a roller ball
ink pen. Now I am no genius (no really I am not) but waterproof paper and runny ink isn’t going to work. At
the end of the run I had some robust pages covered with what was once writing but now looked more like an
ink stain..)
The runners made their way out of the carpark, the walking motley crew bumbled around waiting for some
sort of direction. As I left the car park I was nearly knocked over by 6 horses walking into the car park. Beer
stop for the hackers maybe? We were off up the road and down the lane, after a bit of head scratching and
false trails we ended up in the sports field. On On was the call (is that a girl I thought) but No it was Hold It
For Me and his lovely long locks. As I jogged to catch him up, the Auto nag was engaged and Ted appeared
(giving me the first run write-up reminder in person)
After a bout of fitness on my behalf I found myself leading the pack as we entered the wood and I held a
check. Although a number of FRBs had gone a different way, they found a way round the check and
reappeared at the next one. After the wood we entered a field where, due to the boggy condition there was
a thin wooden walk way (very considerate). Following this change of terrain we were back in mud and up to
a check held by Pedro.
We had a choice, straight across another muddy field or up some very steep steps on to the top of dyke.
Well in for a penny in for a pound both Freddy (Daffy) and I went forth. Up the step and further up the hill
and after stopping to swallow my heart and lungs we were into the elements even more.
We run across the very narrow path and after nearly going head long into the thorny bushes below I slowed
down. When I eventually caught up to the mustachio one (see below)
GM sporting his new all
American Tash
I found that he was stood by a turn back arrow. Ho hum we said (maybe there was some swearing, can’t
read my runny writing). We only needed to run back across the treacherous path for 2 clicks…
All was not lost as we turned to run back we found Wimp had also followed us, and Fit But Dim (although we
can’t mock the afflicted) he will follow anyone. Well after gingerly jogging back to the trail and finding that
everyone had buggered off. I tried to slip slide back to the pack.

On the way I found a rather soggy and dejected Antar who had found a turn back and been left behind. After
wishing him well, I pushed on and eventually caught up with Baby Sham, Doggy style and Fit But Dim.
We entered the village, crossed the road and then back onto the more mud, we run up the track and picked
up Pedro. It was then right across a ploughed field and on to the road. By now cold and wetter, I checked the
sign to see how far away we were. After a detour around a factory and across the train track we were along
the road and back into the village.
After a quick change and then into the pub for some liquid refreshment and the promised Cake (thank you U
Bend).
Before long and after some very tasty roast potatoes we were on out.
The down downs were as follows:
Name
Just Ruth
DT’s Daughter
Me
Taxi
Daffy (Freddy) and Doggy
U Bend
Woody Hollow
Alison
Baby Sham
And some others
Sin
For being daft enough to join us idiots in the rain

For being too good looking
For 600 runs (never seen him running!!)
